almost 3 weeks ago i was sparring with this guy to train for mma and he put me in a rnc and kept it on too long. now 3 weeks later whenever i drink water or whatever it hurts on the right side of my neck. is this normal or should i go to a doctor?

3 weeks later? Go see a doctor. When applied right...the rnc shouldnt produce pain. It is a move to cut off circulation to the brain....not crush your throat.

i mean i have let it heal it is better than a week ago but it just feels swollen on my right side probably i am guessing under my lymph node maybe. just when i swallow water it feels swollen.

Well, I don't know anything about that but I would think an injury that hurts 3 weeks later is probably more serious than you thought and warrants a trip to the doctor. Bruises don't take that long to heal but something broken does

I would go to a doctor, you could have a bulging disk, sprained ligament or something going on.

... soft tissue damage around the throat and under the jaw can take a long time to heal- thats a very sensitive area that takes along time to strengthen. best to have it checked though... and i'd avoid sparring with that dufass at speed until he figures out what he's doing.

i've seen careers ended, or seriously hampered by poorly placed joint techniques.. (knee bars/ ankle cranks...) let alone a rnc. that can be dangerous.

my 2 cents...

Also if you are having numbness and weakness in your right arm, just saying, im not a doctor, you could have a disk problem or nerve impingement.

only when i drink something but if i flex my neck it does not hurt

See a doc and go from there is all i can tell you. The ligaments in the neck are pretty thick and with movement of the neck on a daily basis, it will take time to heal. You need an MRI to see what's up. JMO.

thanx for the tips! i guess i will wait till it heals like i've been doing since it happened. besides i do not want to get billed a ton of money i have no job or insurance
